I'm trying to id a screw thread. The major diameter is 7.09mm / 0.279". It's a perfect fit with an 18tpi gauge (which would be around 1.4 metric pitch). Looking for a tap:
M7x1.4 is not something I could find off the shelf
5/16-18 is too big.
9/32-20 won't work.
Anyone recognize this thread and know where I could find a tap? Having a custom tap made would not be worth it for this project.
I am making some Berea pizza cutters for holiday gifts. I was planning to use a metal / resin blank with the cutter frame screwing directly into the metal part and not using the threaded insert included in the kit. Using epoxy to set the insert in the metal doesn't seem like a very good solution to me. Maybe I'll just have to switch to some segmented wood handles instead.
Berea was no help. I suspect they are just reselling a kit they buy in bulk somewhere and they didn't do the design.
Any and all help appreciated.
